I was helping my son deliver his newspapers this morning and I just wondered how many people get a paper or just reads the news on the internet?
-
I don't buy newspapers anymore, I read the news on the internet or pick up one of the local free newspapers.
-
I still get the Sunday Register, but only for the coupons and ads. I don't actually read any of the paper. Just check in on the news online or the televised news. I don't have time to read much of anything, especially the news.
-
I haven't bought a newspaper in years. A lot of them have gone broke as a result of the Internet.
-
I buy the wednesday paper sometimes to get the sales ads. :thumbsup: But usually read the newspaper online. :) I get the breaking news on my phone. :thumbsup:
-
I still support the industry. I get two newspapers every day. I read them while I watch a couple hours of t.v. at night. I can't just sit while I watch t.v. so always have something else to do.
-
Everything is on the internet. I don’t buy the newspaper any more.
-
I read the news from both the newspaper and on the internet.
-
:wave: I get about 99% of my news from the internet. There are many things not being told from the mainstream media. For instance, many people aren't aware there's an EAS (emergency alert system) test being don on tv and radio on 11/9/11 at 2pm est for apx. 3 minutes.
-
I just read the internet sites for my news. I can't even remember the last time I bought a newspaper much less even thought about buying one. Times changes
-
I do not subscribe to newspapers any longer but we do still buy them a couple of times a week, mainly for the coupons but when we do I still enjoy reading the stories.
-
Newspaper if it's a reputable source but internet has a lot of poor quality news (but also good ones too.)
-
I haven't read a newspaper in years!!! I get all the news that I need and want to read about right here on the intternet :thumbsup:
-
I read most of the news off the internet. The paper we get is for grocery ads!
-
I do not get the local paper! I usually catch up with the local news online! I cant even remember the last time that I bought a newspaper!

The newspaper is nice to have once and a wile but almost all of my news comes from the internet because there is no lag time in getting the freshest news the fastest. The internet beats television news. Unfortunately for your son I believe that all newspapers will eventually go extinct, as will the United States Postal Service. Every service that these two entities can provide is done faster on the internet. Getting a handwritten card is nice but I have sent things in the mail only to have them returned or lost...no worries about that or soggy morning newspapers by having a heavier reliance on the internet.
-
i rarely use to buy the paper, but now with the internet, i doubt i would ever buy it.
-
Most of my news content is either online or via television, but I still get comfort reading physical material like a magazine or newspaper. In fact I'm currently part of a limited days newspaper subscription with my local paper. The Sunday paper is still a must, but this is partly due to the ads and coupons I collect.
-
I never get a newspaper, unless I'm in it. I always just read stuff online.
